We have changed from offense to defense in Iraq. That is a result of the political objective, not the military strategy. The supply lines appear to be long because our base is in Kuwait.
There was a Stryker (I understand) taken out by an RPG.
How much fuel/rations/ammo can an M1 carry?
You're right, I cannot understand your unique insight.
What I see is the leadership looking to transform the military to meet the cellular threat of an enemy that has adapted his TTPs. I hope it indicates that there will be no more spreading democracy and instead a simple killing of bad guys and departure.
